You are obviously creative and talented and lucky enough to share your life with these much-loved and cared for creatures. But please stop dressing them in stupid hats. Cats have an inbuilt sense of dignity. They also have their own humour, but I am not sure it equates to ours, or if we are entitled to impose ours on them.

Just love them and keep posting pictures of them for everyone to enjoy, because they are lovely, But PlEASE stop with the stupid hats and outfits.

You are so creative and talented. We are lucky to have you share your creativeness with us. Your much loved creatures do not seemed harmed or belittled with your creations, in fact they seem honored that their pet parent would love them enough to make them a valued part of many people's lives. Not all pet parents are lucky enough to have patient pets like you, you obviously love them dearly. Go ahead and continue to "impose" your sense of humor on your pets, god knows they impose theirs on us.

Just love them and keep posting what you are posting and people who do not enjoy them need not come to your blog. So haters, stop drinking the haterade, chill out, and if you do not like the "stupid hats and outfits" you can just skip this blog and stop trying to "impose" your will on others.

Please DON'T stop!!I love all your hats, and I plan on making them for my cats! I can't wait to see what else you come up with! Don't let the haters discourage you, when there are so many of us out here that absolutely LOVE the hats!! :)

You are SO clever and creative and I agree with teh people who say not to listen to the haters. I waz reading this and thought "Wow...who would SAY that to someone who is really creative?" I definately agree with "Anonymus/Russ in the US" Keep on with the cat thingies! Almost all the cat knitting stuff is catnip toys and blankets! Keep up the clever cat hats! I am thinking of making this for my own cat, Lily the Hiss Monster! Could anyone direct me to a monster cat hat, or devil horns...? They would fit her perfectly, the evil cat!
